Help, I need to replace my hard drive in my hp pavilion a6863w how can I do this?

The surface of the hard drive, test and get the test failed, a seagate 2 TB SSHD. I want to install it and I'm sure that I can do, but I need to know if I should leave the wrong disc in and just add this one, if I do this will it take all other cables, if yes, I'd rather just old-fashioned.
I have the recovery install disks that I made when I bought first. I used these b4 to reinstall.

I just need to know the steps if I add the 2nd disc or steps (if I need a cable) to replace the old disk with a new disk. This player would be my boot drive? When I ask for the steps, I'm more concerned about turning off the computer and what is it I have unplugged, etc.. Then once the new drive up, just run the recovery discs or y at - it an easier way?
I tried to run a backup, but he stopped and wouldn't let me. I have all my important things like photo movies already saved etc.

Remove the old drive, replace it with a new one and use the set of recovery disks. Choose factory image recovery.

Put the new drive in the same place as the old one and use the same cables (data and power) who were connected on.

  • I need to replace my hard drive in my Samsung laptop, I have windows 7

    I need to replace my hard drive in my Samsung laptop, I have windows 7. I want to reinstall it on the new hard drive running on linux but on install windows 7 on a virtual hard drive, how can I transfer the activation code

    In other words, you can't.

    Assuming that your edition of Windows 7 is the one that supports the transfer of a virtual machine (i.e. the upscale home and more)...

    You will need to do a clean install of the virtual machine, using the retail media and the key of the COA sticker.

    You may need to activate by phone.

    Note that Samsung have historically refused to provide any form of media except through a factory install. This means that it is almost impossible to install the original media for anything except the original disk, using the recovery partition.

    Hello.

    I have a Toshiba satellite L300D-10B and I need to replace the broken hdd in my laptop.
    It is a hitachi 160 GB at 5400 RPM SATA.

    Is it possible to move to a greater capacity (500 GB) and a little faster (7200 RPM).
    is - that someone at - he had success with any particular model?

    Hello

    In my opinion, is not a big problem to use a faster and larger HARD drive.
    The laptop supports the SATA HDD controller and this controller must be able to manage these drives.

  • Need to replace my hard drive, no response from hp in 5 days

    Hello

    I bought a HP Pavilion Touchsmart 15b146ef in France a few months (still under warranty) and my hard drive now dead. I ran a test drive hard short check DST failed with following failure ID: 60D5XV-6MQ6TA-MFPWW1-60QX03. It is an error 303, which means that I have no choice but to replace my HARD drive. The problem is that I'm in Sweden for my studies and no HP is able to help me (in France and Sweden).
    What can I do? Does anyone have a direct contact by email that I could use to talk with the assistance of HP Sweden?

    Thanks for reading and responding if possible

    I can't reach the HP Sweden Helpdesk (I tried 5 long days). Do you have any contact? Sorry but NO, I have no information other than what is publicly available contact.

    And I don't have any driver CD/DVD on my computer, how can I do without having to buy an external CD/DVD drive? On today's computers, a 32 GB USB Flash Drive can replace the recovery disks. If the computer can start again and the recovery partition is not damaged, you may be able to create a recovery USB Flash drive.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Is this feasible?

    I ordered a few partners hp recovery disks that I stupidly didn't create a when I had the chance. The reason I ask this question, it is that I've read that other people have had problems by replacing the original drive with the largest on laptops

    Thank you in anticipation

    Hello

    You should have no problem with a 320 GB HARD drive, the drive on the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

    Hard drive 320 GB

    The procedure to replace the hard drive is detailed on Page 37 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    Once this is done, just use the recovery disks you ordered to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - they will also recreate the Partition D of recovery on the new HARD drive.

    Kind regards

  • I need to replace my hard drive on my laptop. How can I install my apps on the new drive without having to pay another subscription

    As the title of the discussion. I will replace my hard drive on my laptop to improve performance, which means reinstall my Photoshop/Lightroom and Bridge apps. How can I go about it without having to pay another fee to subscriptio?

    Simply install them again.  You are allowed two active installations at the same time.  If you have already used, the installation process will tell you that and whether to disable one of the facilities as soon as possible.  Say Yes.  If you have not installed on a desktop as well, then open Photoshop on this system.  If it has been disabled, tell it to disable a previous installation, as you did with the laptop, and you should be OK from there.

    Hello 88feederups, apparently, your only recourse is to press F-7 to continue and see if the system boots to the desktop.

    If you manage to get to the desktop, I suggest trying to backup your important data and make sure you have a version of Windows XP. You must also consider finding a new hard drive.

    The failed Test Smart can be a reason for the hard drive do not completely, if not already.

    Here is the link for the specifications of your system and it shows the system comes with a hard drive of 160 GB Ultra DMA.

    It is a type IDE ATA hard drive and not the new kind of Sata.

  • HP Pavilion g7-1167, which is needed to replace the hard drive

    In fact, I have a few questions.

    First of all, I was streaming How I Met Your Mother online when a box appeared and gave a kind of message (I don't remember now). He was just sitting there, so I restarted the computer. After the reboot, the computer would not go beyond the screen "start wondows. I ran a dignostic and it says that the short test failed. I then ran a diagnostic in the bios and it ran the short test, he failed, then he ran about 5% of the test long then stopped and said "hard drive full 1."

    After looking online, I think it's a sign that it crashes. I already ordered the new hard drive and the kit at HP.

    But now I need to know how to get all my info out of it. My brother has an external hard drive that I can use, but I don't know if it will work.

    In addition, once I have installed the new hard drive I think I need to re - install windows and something else? Do I have to re - install and how do I do that if I don't have the disks? Can I do a recovery on that disk now, or is it too late? If so, how do I?

    I'm sorry, I don't know anything about computers, so any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    First of all, about your existing data, here are some options that you can try.

    1. one possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is to follow the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can launched from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files. 

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windo...

    2 another option would be to remove the drive HARD, place it in an external enclosure - is an example of the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.

    External 2.5 HARD drive caddy ".

    **********************************************************************

    Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new drive, I don't think that you will be able to create a viable together your disc recovery disc HARD existing, but you can order a set of replacement of the HP recovery discs using the link below.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  • Pavilion dv6700: need to replace my hard drive 453775-001 with? HP Pavilion dv6700 model KC412UA

    It seems that my hard drive has been corrupted and I try to replace it, but not sure one to replace by and where to buy. Site Web of HP is not those most I guess. I couldn't find it when I searched for it. When I opned, it says replace with spare hp 453775-001

    Pavilion dv6700

    model KC412UA

    It is a disc of 7200 RPM of 500 gigabytes for under $ 50. It is almost as fast as any hard drive mechanical regular, you can buy. I suspect it's bigger than the original. You may spend more to get a 750 gig or a 1 to, but it looks like you don't need large capacity. This one is 7 mm (ultraslim) but will always be adapted to your caddy. SATA connectors and mounting holes are in the same place as your original drive. I believe your original drive has a plastic on the SATA connections connector and you must reuse to connect the drive to the motherboard.

    I have an Acer Aspire all-in-one 5600U. The other day the power in our House went out due to a storm. After she came back and went to use my computer, the screen was black and said "Reboot and select proper... boot device." ». I tried to download the tool of creation of media to a USB port and start the system using this. I can get into the menu troubleshooting but nothing works. When I try to make a custom Windows installation, it says "no signed device drivers were found". What is a hard drive problem? In the BIOS, under Boot Options is does not list a specific hard drive. It just says: 'hard drive '. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.

    Thanks, that's what I needed to know. Appreciate the help, IronFly.
